Building Tomorrow’s Talent Today With HRiQ

iqDynamics Pte Ltd Concludes a Successful First Seminar for 2012

Close to 40 attendees gathered at the Microsoft Singapore premises at One Marina Boulevard for the first of a series of HRiQ seminars for 2012. The theme of the day was Building Tomorrow’s Talent Today with HRiQ Talent Management Solution – How to Engage in an Effective Talent Conversation With Your Employees.

The guest speaker for this seminar was Kirene Cheang, former HR director of Arvato Digital Services. Kirene was a pioneer at Sonopress and was instrumental in the successful merger between Sonopress and Arvato Digital Services. At Sonopress, she built the HR department and processes from scratch. Kirene also introduced the Employee Engagement Program and completed the Employee Self-Service portal at Arvato. Prior to that, she served as the Human Resource Manager at Novasprint and at Siemens-Nixdorf.

During the seminar, Kirene shared several important points on talent management with the audience, including the difference between performance appraisals and performance management and the benefits and methods of carrying out effective performance appraisals. She also pointed out the ‘dos’ and ‘don’ts’ of performance management, which was very well received by the audience.

Attendees were also treated to a glimpse into the workings of the HRiQ Human Capital Management Solution. Sadon Salman, business manager, iqDynamics, showed himself to be an expert veteran of the HRiQ system, showing the ins and outs of the system, how it works, and in particular, how it can help in creating a better performance management process for organizations.

Lim Say Ping, director, iqDynamics, rounded off this first seminar on a very popular and well-received topic: an overview of different types of government grants including the PIC grant from IRAS and the iSprint grant from iDA Singapore.

iqDynamics also picked a few lucky winners for the seminar giveaway: a book titled An Executive Guide to Integrated Talent Management by Kevin Oakes and Paul Galagan, and two entry passes to the HR Summit 2012.
